Grading
|
The course will comprise weekly homework (25%), final exam (25%), two midterm exams (10% each), pre-class reading and checkpoint questions (10%), discussion problems (10%) and class participation (10, 9, 7, 4, 0% for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 absences), recorded in the course gradebook. The late homework policy is 20% reduction if submitted less than 2 weeks late and before the final course deadline, whichever is earlier. There are bonus points (maximum 3%) for checkpoint questions answered correctly in class. The (lower) grade boundaries will be A+ (97), A (94), A- (91), B+ (88), B (85), B- (82), C+ (78), C (74), C- (70), D+ (66), D (62), D- (58), F (54) |
